Comes from a very competitive family he's a beast and young stud. He will learn the ropes. I've got a good feeling with this kid. Remember chara when he started look clumsy on the ice but still helped the Bruins win a cup in 2011. Go Bruins Go
This is like when the Bruins top pick was in the 2nd round and they chose Mason Lohrei, not many knew who he was and the Bruins were scoffed at, but he is looking pretty good. Letourneau will also need some time to develop, but this guy I think will become a solid top 6 forward.
love this pick by the bruins!!!they're at the point they need to take a big chance and seeing this kid's maturity,size and skill level his chances of working out are good!
Evan and Conor, why are you discussing Boisvert and Beaudoin as alternatives to Letourneau? Both Boisvert (pick 18) and Beaudoin (pick 24) had already been selected before the Bruins picked at #25.
I love the pick he will play for Canada at the wJC likly … he is from where Hockey is a religion he played against studs his entire life . St Andrews College …. Evan get a life
i have been saying this for years the bruins need someone that knows how to run a draft board. that is all they do. in the last 30 or so years they have to be very near the bottom with their draft record. it could be five or more years to know if Letourneau's was a good pick.
This fixes the Ullmark trade. What a great opportunity for Dean and Boston (College & Bruins) to all collaborate at some level. Put simply, ya don't get a player like Tage unless ya draft them.
Some regions in Canada do have the name “college” for some (mostly privately-funded tuition type) secondary schools. Other parts of Canada use the term “high school”, similarly to secondary schools in the USA.
Garbage pick! Played in a garbage league.another reach pick by genius don. Greentree is a way better player and even sam oreilly is a better player. Wasnt even rated in the 1st round. If u think he will dominate at boston college its 100% not happening. And to top it off swayman still doesnt have a contract. How are u supposed to know how much $ you can screw up by signing old men when you dont have your #1 priority in goal signed.
Some regions of Canada follow a traditional European convention for naming educational institutions. In Europe, many secondary schools (equivalent to grades 9-12 in the USA) are named “colleges”. Post-secondary schools in Europe are named “universities”, while in the USA, “college” and “university” are essentially synonymous, as both terms refer to post-secondary institutions. I believe much of South America follows the European naming conventions, and some parts of Canada, apparently, too.
I have no doubt that Sweeney was going to select Beaudoin. Utah gave up quite a bit by trading up to pick #24, but that’s a luxury Utah could afford. I think Utah had nine scheduled selections in the top 110 picks, prior to trading up to select Beaudoin. I would also wager that Colorado presented Sweeney with an opportunity to outbid Utah for that opportunity to move up, but Boston (very understandably) declined.
